Overview

Mission

To empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live fulfilling, independent lives.

What it reported doing in 2024

Adult services offers day program opportunities for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The arc operates five achievement centers and a crew labor program in which the participants conduct janitorial work for community businesses and monmouth county senior residents. Two of the five achievement centers are special needs centers; one serves persons with major developmental and physical disabilities; and the other serves persons with dual diagnoses of developmental disability and psychiatric diagnoses and/or behaviorial challenges. The achievement centers provide opportunities for volunteering and building daily living skills such as food preparation, clothing care, community recreation and personal care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 88% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
